6:24 Yes: I'm just suffocating here I need escape from this place here I wanna go away in 3, 2, 1 GO Full English translation: Oh oh… I dived right inside of you It was like a complicated labyrinth I can't escape from it, no matter how long it took Being not aware of it, I found myself in a trap (I'm) suffocating, running out of breath Not being able to do anything, I just I just cried Nothing but troubles, I'm becoming depressed At this point, let me forget it all As if you will just forget about everything Don't stare at me with those eyes (It) doesn't matter if it isn't true If I can just accept it all, then it's all good right? It's just an escape from reality Oh oh… I dived right inside of you Being entangled by lies, I'm already tired and sick of it It's just a game, like tossing around sloppily After using me, you'll just cast me away right? Right? Being not aware of it, I found myself in a trap (I'm) suffocating, running out of breath Not being able to do anything, I just I just cried Searching for a way to escape At this point, let me forget it all As if you will just forget about everything Don't stare at me with those eyes (It) doesn't matter if it isn't real If I can just accept it all, then it's all good right?

Thank you *Roger Chance* for spreading the word of *BAND-MAID* 🍺😁 ----------------------------------------- _The Carrier Pigeons delivering the message of _*_BAND-MAID_*_ to the World_

Japan’s treasurer is BAND-MAID and Godzilla.🤘🤘🤘🦖

Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up. They are all now in their 30's. Most of their songs are in a mix of Japanese and English (and three songs totally in English). I've seen them live four times and they are the best live band I have ever witnessed. Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. Her idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!

Roger is still the man!!!!! This is the first song that Band-Maid wrote, produced, and recorded. Over 120 songs later, Band-Maid has a large discography with many "official live videos' and "official music videos" on the official Band-Maid KZfaq. You will find every one of them is quite good and some are truly outstanding. If you continue to react to Band-Maid on your channel, the Band-Maid algorithm will send a Bat Signal to all Maidiacs worldwide and we'll come running to you.

Her name is Tono, Kanami Tono. And she eats guitar solos for breakfast. Band Maid since 2013 or so. Making rock and roll great again !

We are the MAIDIACS & BAND-MAID are THE band.😁

Their musical talent easily breaks down language barriers. Alone is still in my top five songs. It's amazing that a band can produce such high quality songs so early on.

Roger has great recommendations always! Please keep reacting…you have only scratched the surface of this great band. Band-Maid motto “We will do our best” & World Domination! Check out “Don’t you tell me” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibWaZtSJp87NgGg.htmlsi=qHxmNO0UTTFOlaxs 🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO!

Rock On! 🤘 *100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back…*

Congratulations you just found the best band on the planet 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🎎🤘🎎. Check out their live stuff, they are outstanding🎸

You need to do a deep dive with Band Maid ---- they will blow your mind!!!!!

the MV's are good... however Band Maid was born for the Stage..... they are great in the studio and damned amazing onstage.... I highly recommend you fire up any official Live video ... Puzzle, Hate, No God, Domination, Freedom, Onset .... throw a dart and pick one... sit back and enjoy greatness onstage and Live....

You aint seen nothing.Yes , po

Great live band. I've seen them 9 times here in the states.

Thank you for reacting to the greatest rock band on the planet. And also thank you for allowing the song to play all the way through without pausing. And 1 more thing... they are phenominal musicians that this song doesnt fully demonstrate.

Welcome to the fandom! Most their videos have subtitles (CC button)

Gary I got another shoutout!🍺😁🤘🏻

👉 I have a next song for you in my mind ... Why not jump to a more recent performance from their 10th anniversary last year: "Don't you tell ME" (official live) would be a good suggestion. And as always many other songs come into mind: "Freedom" (Live) for example. But as many Maidiacs would say: Pick any song from their huge portfolio: No song will disappoint! 😍 And they are a LIVE Band, for sure! To loosely quote another Maidiac 😅 🎸 Bass solos by Misa are more likely to happen than not. 🥃 🎸 Guitar solos by Kanami are short and crisp 🥁 Akane on drums is 'a beast' 🦍🍌 🕊 Don't underestimate Miku Kobato: She is the founder of the band, bundle of energy, Maid Cafe magician 🪄, is invaluable as a second vocalist and also has a small solo project of her own (Cluppo) 🎙And there is Saiki: She was the Ice Queen but the Ice Queen has thoroughly thawed 🤣 🎶 More hooks, riffs and motifs in a song than most bands have on a full album. 💃Their LIVE videos are mostly superior to the official studio MVs, but the MVs are also excellent! 🎵 Many songs have catchy phrases or singalong sections to engage the audience. Many songs are in English and Japanese. Most songs are full of joy as well. 🥳 They enjoy performing. They enjoy the fans. They enjoy each other. I don't know of any other band where the fans' playlists differ so much. So, this is just a quite random selection of songs: For some very special live videos try Freedom, Play, Real existence and Endless Story. With Moratorium (Live at Zepp), Rinne (MV) and Dice you can hear more hard rock while more catchy songs are Choose me (MV), Bestie (MV) and Alone (MV). And if you want to hear some ballads then maybe About Us (MV) and Daydreaming (MV) are good picks. But don't miss some of their instrumentals like From now on (MV) and Onset (Live). And finally a very special live performance is Manners/Blackhole (Official Online Live)🍌 And there is more: For example the songs with Miku in lead, their christmas acoustic concert and the 'cover band' Band-Maiko ;-) But if you want to start at the beginning of their career (2013-2017) then go with Thrill (MV, their first video), Real Existence (second video), Alone (MV, first own composition), Freedom(best LIVE performance), Choose Me, Play (LIVE!), ... By the way: Almost every reactor from US and some from UK are talking so much about the language barrier: All want to understand the lyrics! Obviously that's because you are used to understand every word of a song. For me as a German (who is not a native English speaker) it's very normal to NOT listen to the words of a song ... maybe the chorus later, but not during a first listen. 😀 Have fun... Po

This is not a bad place to begin your Band-Maid journey. "Alone" was the first song the band wrote and composed themselves that the record company allowed them to record. Fans liked it. Since that time the band signed to a new label and have been writing and composing their own material ever since. This song didn't have captions but the later videos do have captions because their popularity exploded in the U.S. If you want to continue I would suggest a live video to see their enthusiasm or an instrumental to see their skills. Welcome down the pigeon hole.

Live: Hate? Play Domination Unleash!!!!!

🍻 😊 🙏

Nice. Starting at the very beginning of their own written music. Well done, Captain Jolly Roger and other able seamen who undertook this particular mission. And thanks for the great reaction. They are definitely a band best enjoyed live in the main too, but not all their songs have official live releases. This song was the first song they wrote themselves which their label finally approved for release. Bit of a watershed moment.

🕊️

First rule of shoutouts, don't mention the shoutout request 😂 . Great reaction and welcome to Band-Maid

11 years in now for the MAIDS with the same members if you can believe that. HUGE discography and are pretty much a worldwide phenomenon with rabid fans. hell man the BEATLES only had 7 or 8 years and then they were toast. BAND MAID is going non stop with world wide tours and new music coming out regularly. not slowing down anytime soon. don't let the language barrier get in your way - in most songs they mix both japanese and english lyrics. this band can do it all.

Welcome to *BAND MAID!* Great song to start with, classic from 2017. Your next song you pick should be a live of which there are plenty. A few to pick off of their official KZfaq... Hate? Domination Don't You Tell Me 🤘❤‍🔥🤘

Fuckin ambassador chance strikes again po!

from JAPAN.　　BAND-MAID is a knockout live band, but they are also great in music videos. What's more, of course, the live version is even better. The girls wrote the songwriting , and this is the first time management has approved it. Up to that point, BAND-MAID had released many cool songs, but from this song onward, the band evolved rapidly, becoming almost entirely their own compositions. As for the live version, I'm sure a large number of Maidiacs will be able to offer their recommendations.　I hope you enjoy the journey of BAND-MAID.

The amazing miracle Maids ❤❤❤❤❤ Maids are always better live. Incredible!😊 although I love MANNERS OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO 🎉

Check out any of their live videos like 'Domination', 'HATE?' or 'Puzzle' for starters and after that you will be on your way.

DICE MV should be your next reaction before moving to their live videos. After that SHAMBLES MV

Welcome, FTMC. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 200 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8qjaspkspOYnIU.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbJykqiBuJqceHk.html) And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. kzfaq.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts:  2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMdhrJCDt7zIZ2Q.html  ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKeUitF6t9CrkZ8.html  Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8iphKZ705zWiZs.html  ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9eBoa56sbiZpWQ.html  Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD. And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:  Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/es2oiJB-u9DYkWQ.html  See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNCKnrGW1K3RmJc.html If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, CD, DVD/BD & merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out:  "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009  Band-Maid MIDI covers: www.youtube.com/@DeanF_MIDI  Reimagined compositions of Band-Maid songs: www.youtube.com/@fxdxmusic Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS]  BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo  The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success.

Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!

And look out for The Warning Army that will be heading your way soon!

Welcome home Maidiac! This band renewed my love for rock music and I found them by accident in 2017. I don't understand Japanese either, but I could care less. That's how good they are. This song - Alone - is the first they wrote and arranged by themselves after having their songs written for them for the first 2 years, despite writing many songs themselves but having them rejected by their company. They've only gotten better since then. Much better! They currently have well over 100 songs, with another album due out this Summer. We look Forward to your next Band Maid reaction, Po!

Hello from a fellow Mountaineer.

If you like the drums check out Band-Maid's "Freedom" Official Live MV or "Hate?" Official Live ! Both these songs are completely different but you will understand both as well =) Stick with this band their Awesome ! Thanks Nice Reaction
